What are the risks of repatriating international students from online courses in the United States?
Has the American epidemic really improved? Time is running out. Many universities have already announced their plans for the fall semester, and many courses will be completed online. However, new measures have forced schools to open. The future of the school in epidemic prevention and control is full of uncertainty.

The new immigration ban for international students will be repatriated if they only take online classes in the United States, and the new immigration ban for international students will be blown up.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that if all courses are online in the fall, foreign students studying in the United States must leave the United States or transfer to other schools with face-to-face courses.

Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, universities all over the United States began to decide to transfer their courses online. Including Harvard University, students who live on campus can only take online courses.

ICE said that if all their autumn projects will be conducted online, the United States may not issue visas to students, and the Border and Immigration Bureau will not allow these students to stay in the United States.

This move is expected to have an impact on foreign students who come to the United States to study or participate in other academic vocational training. So far, it is not clear how many students with visas will be affected by this policy, and foreign students are the main source of income for American universities, because most students will pay full tuition fees.

I'm worried about the regulations of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau, which is a one-size-fits-all approach. Apart from leaving the United States and transferring schools, there are too few strategies for international students. "

This new regulation is mainly aimed at international students with non-immigrant F- 1 and M- 1 visas.

The rules of ICE apply to students with F- 1 and M- 1 visas. In 20 19, the United States issued 388,839 F visas and 9,665,438+08 M visas. However, as long as the university proves that students' courses will not be conducted entirely online, the ICE regulations will not apply.

The Trump administration said in a statement that under "extremely special circumstances" in COVID-19, the Trump administration requested to stop issuing work visas. But immigration experts say the government is using COVID-19 to promote immigration reform.

At the same time, the Trump administration claimed that due to the epidemic, they "effectively stopped providing shelter to the southern border of Mexico, which has been persecuted by local gangs for a long time".

Trump expressed strong hope for the vision of the school opening. After the relevant regulations were issued, he immediately used all-letter capitals and three exclamation points on Twitter, demanding that "schools must start in autumn".

For international students with F- 1 visas, they are already very vulnerable to the recent immigration policies of the United States, and this new policy of the United States government is undoubtedly "picking soft persimmons" and using these people to force universities to reopen classes.

Whether undergraduate or graduate, it is unrealistic to "go back to China to take online classes" considering time difference, network and real life.

The possible risk map of this year's international students' survival map comes from the network and is drawn by international students.
